May 2nd
Muse headlines the main stage Saturday night. These guys know how to put on a show. Lotsa lights, several lasers, tons of sound, even more energy.

Deer Tick at Coachella
Apr 28th
Started out the festival shooting Deer Tick on the Outdoor Stage. Great band. Hadn’t heard of them before seeing them on the lineup and checking them out. Quite impressed. Plus, the lead singer was perhaps the most appropriately dressed performer all weekend, telling the crowd halfway through the set “its hot out, I had to wear my sun dress…”

Coachella Bound…
Apr 15th
Leavening in approximately 8 hours on a super photo adventure. Trekking into the desert for the fourth year in a row to document the one and only Coachella Music and Art Festival. Check back for daily updates with images and panoramas.
In the mean time here are a few images from Coachella 2009. Enjoy…

Secret Cedar Studio Shoot
Apr 7th
Secret Cedar Studios Sounds Super Secretive… probably because it is.
Hidden in an unassuming blue warehouse 50 feet from the end of an small airstrip and 20 minutes east of downtown San Diego sits a state of the art recording studio with an impressive history and client list to match. Bloc Party, Death Cab For Cutie, Kieth Richards, and the Silversun Pickups have all made the studio their workspace, and today we would make it ours. DJhere, the creators of Vin De Syrah wine bar, are opening a new Burger and Music Bar in downtown San Diego called Analog. Although the restaurant/bar isn’t finished being built out, the owners wanted to come up with some marketing images that they could run prior to launch to generate excitement. Built in 1975, Secret Cedar provided the perfect location for a photo shoot with both a highly “musical” and strongly “analog” feel. The images (as per usual with this client) will be used for full page ad’s in 944 and Pacific magazine and in bi-weekly email blasts.
The studio was both a perfect location and a lighting nightmare. With more character than you could shake a stick at I knew immediately that once I could get a few speed lights wrangled around the room I would be able to make some pretty exciting images.
Check out a few standouts below, if you want some more detailed strobist type info and a full gallery follow the “more” link after the the photos.
